HOUSTON NEGLIGENT SECURITY LAWYER

When Security Failures Put Visitors at Risk

Houston residents and visitors should be able to feel reasonably safe at apartment complexes, hotels, parking garages, shopping centers, restaurants, bars, and other properties. When owners or businesses ignore foreseeable security risks, people may be exposed to preventable assaults and other criminal activity.

A negligent security claim may arise when broken locks or gates, inadequate lighting, malfunctioning surveillance cameras, insufficient security personnel, or a failure to address prior criminal incidents contributes to an assault, robbery, shooting, sexual assault, or another violent crime.

Determining liability often requires reviewing surveillance footage, security logs, maintenance records, incident reports, prior complaints, and witness statements. This evidence may help show what the property owner knew, when they knew it, and whether reasonable precautions were taken.
